We had two playoff games on the farm yesterday, and two pretty good starting pitching performances. Unfortunately, only one of those games resulted in a win.

That win goes to Daytona. Last year’s Daytona Cubs ran through the postseason on the strength of their pitching (four shutouts in five wins). If Game One is any indication, this year’s version of the High A Cubs may roll on the potency of their bats. There is a lot of baseball to be played, but the Cubs are off to a great start.

[Boise] Jake Stinnett allowed a run on 2 hits and struck out 8 over his 5 innings of work. The bullpen could not keep it up, though, as every reliever after Stinnett allowed at least one additional run.

[Boise] Although, to be fair, Corbin Hoffner pitched pretty well. A solo homer was the only hit he allowed in 2 innings, and he struck out 4 in the process.

Kane County opens their postseason today on the road in Wisconsin. As expected, they are sending Jen-Ho Tseng to the mound in Game One.

Game Two of Daytona’s best of three series is tonight. Leading the series 1-0, the Cubs send Tayler Scott to the mound.

The Boise series is also best of three, and it continues tonight in Hillsboro. Trailing the series 0-1, Boise sends Jeremy Null to the hill to try to stave off early elimination. Null started in Hillsboro on August 14 and held the Hops to a run on 3 hits over 3 innings.
